What to do when anthurium leaves turn yellow? The latest solutions are here

Yellowing of plant leaves is a very common disease, and anthurium is no exception. When growers encounter yellowing leaves on their plants, the first thing they need to do is figure out the cause, and only then can they make targeted improvements. The more common causes include light, water amount, and disease. Below, let's take a look together at what to do when yellowing leaves are caused by these situations?

1. Yellowing caused by intense light stimulation

Light is an essential factor in the growth of anthurium, but unsuitable lighting duration and intensity can very easily cause anthurium leaves to turn yellow. The light suitable for anthurium growth is generally the light during the two short periods of morning and afternoon; if it is exposed to light at noon, yellowing of the leaves will occur. This shows up as anthurium under strong light gradually becoming listless, with the leaves taking on a withered yellow appearance as if lacking water. At this time, shade it promptly or move the plant to a cool place. It can recover in about 1-3 days.

2. Water-induced yellowing

Water-induced yellowing is generally caused by inadequate watering by growers, and there are two situations: dry-water yellowing and water-induced yellowing. The former is caused by lack of water; the latter is still caused by excessive water. Dry-water yellowing is the withered appearance everyone sees in daily life, and the soil at the roots will be extremely dry. Water-induced yellowing, on the other hand, shows the plant growing luxuriantly while the leaves turn yellow, but the yellow parts will not wither, and prolonged water-induced yellowing can also cause the roots to rot. For dry-water yellowing, it is better to water promptly; for water-induced yellowing, it depends on the situation: if the roots are normal, then you only need to drain the water; if the roots are abnormal, then you need to replace the soil promptly and deal with the abnormal parts.

3. Yellowing caused by disease

Finally, there is the factor of disease, and because growers plant in relatively large quantities, disease is something to pay rather close attention to. The common yellow-leaf disease of anthurium is yellow leaf spot, which is a relatively easily transmitted one, so attention should be paid to it. Yellowing caused by yellow leaf spot is generally fairly easy to identify, as a brown withered area appears in the center of the leaf. Generally, if yellowing of the leaves is accompanied by withering, then it is basically caused by disease. For this type of disease, you can try using carbendazim, which has a relatively good effect.

The above are some solutions for anthurium leaves turning yellow. It is recommended that when growers cultivate anthurium, they space the rows a little farther apart and cultivate them according to scientific cultivation methods, so that they can grow high-quality anthurium.
